The phytochemical tests revealed the presence of limited phytoconstituents like carbohydrates, alkaloids and volatile oils in ethanolic tuber extract. The anthelmintic activity of ethanolic extract was investigated by employing animal model. The results were compared with standard drugs like Piperazine citrate and Albendazole. In animal model the parameters studied include paralysis time followed by death time. In this animal model, the ethanolic tuber extracts treated animals showed significant dose dependent anthelmintic activity compared to control group and also results were comparable with standards treated animals. The ethanol tuber extracts of K. nemoralis promote remarkable anthelmintic activity and hence can be suggested for treating various types of worm infections in human beings too.
